Silencio Lyrics in English Nelly Furtado , Josh Groban

Feel the hush of heartbreak—in Silencio, Canadian-Portuguese singer Nelly Furtado joins American tenor Josh Groban to paint a vivid picture of love’s sudden absence. Over sweeping strings and tender vocals, the duo describe how air, wind, and fire once brought warmth and purpose, yet now only an icy stillness remains. The chorus repeats “Si tú no estás aquí” (“If you’re not here”), turning silence itself into the loudest reminder of lost passion.

Beneath the elegant Spanish lyrics lies a universal story: when the person we love disappears, everyday joys feel hollow, instincts wobble, and even sunlight seems to burn. The singers teeter between surrendering to the void and awakening to hope, promising to wait “hasta la eternidad” (“until eternity”). It is a song about confronting emptiness, holding on to the fragile spark of love, and discovering whether silence will echo with despair or with the promise of reunion.
